Seoul Metropolitan Subway Trains
There are many types of trains in Seoul but they are usually similar to each other. Typically, train carriages have four doors on each side. In between the doors are rows of either cushioned or non-cushioned seats for about 7 people, except for the outer ends of each wagon where there are smaller rows of seats for about 3 people, marked for the use by the elderly or disabled persons and pregnant women.
This list focuses primarily on trains that run on the 9 urban subway lines in Seoul and the 6 remaining wide-area commuter rail lines integrated into the Seoul Metropolitan Subway system as well as the AREX airport rail link. The list does not however include rolling stock used on the Incheon Subway and light rail systems such as the U Line or EverLine.
